    Super friendly staff, quick service, great food. Exceeded my expectations on my first visit. Will definitely be back!

    Chicken teriyaki lunch special
    Julie S.

    My husband, daughter and I were visiting Oceanside- we were looking for something more healthy and with more vegetables- tried out Sunshine Kitchen . All our dishes were tasty and very reasonably priced. The restaurant was very clean and service efficient. Nice ambiance.

    Very tasty Japanese food tucked into a strip mall on Mission Ave. in Oceanside. Casual busy little family restaurant with an extensive menu. Stand in line & order at the counter. Food is brought to your table. A lot of good looking Sushi came out of the kitchen.Heavy 2 go restaurant.We had 2 different Ramens, both delicious. What we liked was that they weren't too salty Also, had the Tempura which was cooked in a light batter Will definitely put this spot in our regular rotation Only thing that was odd were the tiny napkins they give you! Otherwise, an A+ in my book.

    Katsu curry

    This place looks unassuming but it's actually a hidden gem! The menu has a huge variety of food and there wasn't a single thing that I tried that missed. We had the pork katsu curry, which was delicious, and the katsu was perfectly tender and the rice coated in curry was the perfect flavor and texture. The yakisoba with chicken teriyaki was simple but well done. The chicken teriyaki was juicy and flavorful, and the yakisoba was not salty and a good bouncy texture. My friend had a spicy miso ramen which also looked so good and the little broth I tasted had a great balanced flavor. The star of the show was the Oceanside roll--we all agreed that it was one of the best sushi rolls we've had as of late. Opting for the spicy tuna for an extra dollar was the move, and we could tell that they used real softshell crab on top. Drinking along with a cloudy nigori sake made a perfect complement to the meal. Come here for no-frills Japanese food done well!

    I was traveling with my family and stopped by randomly in Oceanside. We ended up in this little plaza across the street from Oceanside HS. There were so many places to choose from and ended up choosing Sunshine! Were were not disappointed. The service was great and the waitress was really nice. However, the big thing for me is the food! I had the special poke bowl. It was fresh and so yummy and filling. I really enjoyed it! Do next time you're passing through Oceanside, try it out. See you there!

    Sunshine Kitchen reminds me a lot of Teri Café, just tucked into a strip mall and more mom and pop vibe and the quality here is always solid. They have great lunch and dinner specials, and I keep coming back for the poke bowl because it's consistently well-made, fresh, and very reasonably priced. This time, my kiddo ordered the karaage and french fries, and we also tried the yaki soba noodles. Everything tasted like it was made with care. If you're craving a little island or Japanese comfort food without committing to a huge sushi bill, this place is absolutely worth a visit. You'll be able to order a dinner plate usually salad, rice, and your choice of a meat, or you can also get yakisoba, and quite a bit more. If you want a no-frills but yummy Japanese style food spot in Oceanside especially closer to the coast because you're craving Teri café, this is a great option.

    We stopped by for a late lunch after a long drive. A perfect spot for a quick and affordable meal. They offer plenty of value-packed combo lunch specials. I tried the Cali Combo with Yakisoba noodles $11. It presents a satisfying spread of Japanese-American favorites: included two pieces of fried dumplings, four pieces of Cali Roll, savory Teriyaki Chicken, perfectly cooked with a rich, glossy glaze, and seasoned chewy Yakisoba noodles. My friend enjoyed their cold ramen as well. I definitely have to try it next time. The combination of excellent lunch plates like the Cali Combo and the genuinely spacious indoor environment and relaxing patio makes it the perfect spot for locals and beach-goers alike. Go support this local mom and pop spot!

    I've been coming here for the last five years, and I've never once been disappointed. Normally, I'm not a fan of ordering first and tipping before service but at Sunshine Kitchen, I gladly oblige. They've earned it every time. Menu: When my 12 and 7-year-old finish a full plate of curry and are still hungry, I start questioning if I'm raising them right but that's just how good the food is. They both had ramen afterward and finished every drop. I've tried so many items on the menu over the years, and honestly, I like it all. The layout and décor make the whole place feel warm, inviting, and comfortable. Overall, this is an easy 5-star experience and absolutely an Oceanside food staple.

    I was staying at Mission Pacific Hotel down the street. This place is walking distance. Is in a strip mall. It looks new on the outside and inside. There's plenty of parking and seating. I came on a weekend for take out. They didn't seem too busy. The decor was super cute. I called in my order and it was ready when I arrived. The chicken curry was ok. The chicken could've been crisper. The curry was alright. I feel that this might not be their signature dish but it was what I was craving.?I might try a different dish next time I'm in town.

    Oceanside Roll
    Ethan S.

    Really unassuming location with incredible food. When I first walked in, I wasnt sure what to expect as it looked like any other japanese restaurant embedded in an outlet mall, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of all the food they made, and even moreso by the taste. I ordered the Pork Katsu Cutlet Curry as well as the Oceanside Roll, and the rest of my table ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Yakisoba, the Ramen, and a Pacific Roll. Everything was very tasty, but the standouts were the Oceanside roll (featuring real crab tempura on top which was an absolute treat) and the Curry. Service was quick and took less than 10 minutes to start bringing out food which was great, and the overall atmosphere, while not incredibly inspired, was also not offensive either. This quickly entered the top 3 of my favorite japanese restaurants in San Diego, and I am glad I was able to try it out!

    Tonkatsu Ramen
    Michelle S.

    This location is across from the high school and the parking lot is busy but it's easily accessible from the 5. Good amount of inside and outside tables Diverse menu offerings from Ramen, sushi, poke, apps, noodle/ rice dishes means something for everyone. I got the tonkatsu Ramen and it was good!

    Valerie K.

    A-OK, I had some sushi here recently, and it wasn't bad, but the tuna roll seemed like it was too much tuna all at once, so maybe not the best combo, but the curry and rice was great!

    beef gyudon
    Judy N.

    My dear friend's mom owns this restaurant and we knew we had to come to support The staff is incredible friendly and the restaurant had good music taste when we went . We ordered calamari tempura, summer roll (this is a new roll! i love a good spicy tuna & salmon combo), the shoyu ramen (the broth is super light and veryyy good!), and the beef gyudon bowl (a special!) The restaurant serves authentic japanese food so if you need a good place to satisfy your craving, come here

    Hi! I was wondering if the grilled salmon is cooked on the same surface that other meats are cooked on or if there's a different area to prevent cross contamination between them?

    Hi! Our grilled salmon is cooked separately under a salamander, away from the meat grill, to avoid cross-contamination. Thanks so much for your question!

    Is this place part of the Terri Cafes? Same menu and ordering process.

    I don't believe so but I don't know why you thought it might be. From what I've read this appears to be a small family owned and run business.

For some of the best ramen that Oceanside has to offer, I recommend The Wu Lan Ramen located in the Plaza Del Oro Shopping Center, just south of the 76 Hwy. It's hidden behind the 24 Hour Fitness and CVS. The plaza has limited parking, but it isn't typically too crowded and you should be able to find parking in front of this family-owned ramen restaurant. They have a quaint and trendy ambiance and they placed a lot of care into their anime murals, which lends to a "whimsical" vibe. It's a nice blend of traditional elements & colors and modern (kawaii) accents. The interior is also spacious and has great seating for groups and is also good for couples too. Enjoy table seating or better-yet at their bar seating and you can chat with the friendly staff! They have a "staple menu" that is written in chalk on a board and then there's their menu that is very diverse. They also have a great Happy Hour menu with items priced below $8, including sake! I enjoy their pan-fried gyoza, salted edamame, miso soup, firecracker shrimp, fried calamari, chicken karaage and most other delicious dishes. Their sushi menu is also high quality grade and I feel is often overlooked and underrated. But their ramen is what shines the most! There are so many styles & varieties! There's a lot to customize and their broth is amazing! There are many tasty bowls, desserts and don't forget to grab a sake or a craft beer! I recommend checking Wu Lan Ramen the next time you're looking for some authentic ramen or sushi in the north side of Oceanside.

Parking is usually pretty easy, and while the restaurant is small, there is both indoor and outdoor seating.

My go to order is the katsu chicken curry ramen. It's so good! I'm also a big fan of the poke bowl and their specialty sushi rolls.

But I had also just had ramen a week ago so tried to change it up further by getting the chicken curry ramen. Wanted sushi. Ended up getting something that tasted more like Indian food. Maybe if that's what I was in the mood for I would have enjoyed it. Although I think if I'm craving curry I will just order curry, and not curry-style ramen. I will say that the chicken karaage here is way better than the one at Underbelly. It was softer and juicier. The ramen I ate the other night was Underbelly and the chicken was so dry and tasteless. I don't even know why people hype that place up so much; it's pretty overrated.

We settled on Oceanside in hopes of finding good food, as our weekend (end of Feb) had been full of a poor results. This place came up as very well rated on Yelp, as my friend and I searched for places to eat. It was a Saturday night with great weather. The red flag I should have read into was that the lone guy working that night was a one man show. He was doing it all in the front of the house. I tried to get us a table to sit outdoors but he just couldn't get to the table to clean it. After about 20 minutes he finally came and just moved all the bowls to the empty table next to it and wiped it down. When my friends finally arrived we all sat down to sticky menus that had NO descriptions. What you see on the website is exactly what they have on the menu. We had to wait to ask the server/host what each menu item meant. It took a while to get our food from when we ordered. Thank goodness for good company, I didn't clock it. The food options were limited and keep in mind for those who have children, most of the options come with a spicy kick, you'll have to explicitly tell them "no spicy"! There was a party who had been sitting for a while before we got there and a kiddo took a bite of pizza and was crying, screaming from it being so spicy. With my ramen the portions are tiny for what you pay, with 1 piece of meat, not enough noodles. Flavor wise it was spicy and bland. We ordered a couple appetizers which were not very good. The edamame was overly salty and soaked in soy sauce and the karaage was probably the only good thing and that was a little overfried. No one in our party finished our food or took any of the leftovers home. Save yourself the trip, not worth trying the "unique foods".

Lately, I've been searching for a new go-to pho spot, and this place is definitely climbing back up my list. The staff was professional and attentive, and the restaurant itself was very clean. The dining room, bathrooms, tables, and sauce stations were all well maintained. I also appreciated the hand sanitizer available at every table small detail, but a nice touch. I ordered the regular pho for about $15 and really enjoyed the broth. The meats were tender and flavorful, especially the brisket and tripe. Portion sizes definitely seem smaller compared to the oversized bowls many spots used to serve years ago, but honestly it works well if you're trying to avoid overdoing it. My son ordered the grilled pork chops with rice. The flavor was good, especially paired with the fish sauce, though the pork chops could have been a little hotter and had more of that grilled flavor. Parking can sometimes be tricky depending on the time of day, but today it wasn't an issue at all. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and especially the broth. Pho House is definitely becoming one of my preferred pho spots in Oceanside again.
